Well, the system did not freeze, it tried to continue the init
procedure, but it could not find any files, so I saw a lot of
red 'failed' since it could not find any files on /.
I believe that if /usr, /bin and /sbin had been on different
partitions, most of the programs would have started, but no log
would be recorded, since I have /var on /.
I believe that mount reads the fstab file from the beginning to
the end, so hdc7 was mounted as / when fstab told mount to mount
it as swap, if this is the case, shouldn't mount have aborted that
mount, said so and moved on?
Does anyone know whom I should report this possible bug to?
